1. Did you ever play strip poker (or strip spin-the-bottle, or similar)?Did nudity result? Were there further developments? Details please. Yes, way back when I was younger. I had played strip poker in mixed company. I can remember one particular gentleman ending up wearing my pink robe. It looked cute on him and of course I took it off of him later.

2. Did you ever play a nude party game, such as Naked Twister? Did itlead to anything further? Nope, never did that one.

3. Did you ever play a game of Truth or Dare that led to nudity, orfondling, or more? Yes, this was one of my favorite games to play with my husband when we were dating.

4. Did you ever attend a party that led to sex with a more or less randomly chosen partner, i.e., swingers-lifstyle party, key party*? No, I never had that experience*key party – A couples party where all of the men put their car keys into a bowl or bag and at the end of the party, the women blindly select a set of keys to determine who she goes home with for the rest of the evening for sexual gratification.

5. Did you ever participate in unexpected co-ed skinny dipping in agroup? Yes, several times, this seemed to be an "ARMY" thing.

Bonus: Do you have a favorite fantasy about a sexy party?Please share. Oh, I can't go there right now.

It’s here, it’s here. I have lusted after this one for months! My usual source for toys never did get it in stock so I found it elsewhere. I waited and waited and then it finally showed up. Dang thing takes 8 hours to fully charge!! It has lived up to my expectations. I am very happy with my purchase!!

This little clitoral vibe works wonderfully!! It has the neatest shape to it and fits easily in the palm of your hand. It works on your clitoris, your external labia, you can insert it up to1 ½ inch vaginally for some teasing. It works on all of your erogenous zones. It glides easily in that special area behind your lover’s knees. Also, when your neck is sore it works to help get the kinks out too. It is great for foreplay and the husband likes it on his scrotal area. The husband likes the softer type of vibrations on his scrotal area he says the salsa is too much and he likes this one, Uma and Mimi. I use it solo too. I lovingly refer to this one as my M toy since I can’t pronounce it properly! It states specifically on the instructions to not insert this one anally.

The silicone doesn’t collect any lint or hair. It is soft, velvety and silky. It really does glide across your skin. There is no drag to it and I have even used it over my leggings and panties with out it catching on the fabric. There is no taste and no smell to the Matryoshka. It is completely smooth with no textures. The only raised areas are the control buttons. The silicone is a coat over firm plastic type of material. The bottom of the toy has plastic with the two metal connections for the charger. The charging area is depressed slightly so that it doesn’t come into contract with you.

There is no give to the Matryoshka. It is very firm. The Matryoshka comes in lavender, rose and lilac colors. The silicone is medical grade, non porous, hypoallergenic. It doesn’t contain any latex or phthalates. It is easy to clean. You can see on the toy where there was a seam that has been meticulously leveled out.

The Matryoshka is 3 ¼ inches tall, it’s base has a diameter of 2 inches and it’s head area has a diameter of ¾ inch. The head sits 1 ½ inch off of the body of the toy. The controls are on the upper side of the body area with 2 buttons present and the Rs logo.

The functions are controlled by the two buttons. The toy comes locked, it is easy to unlock by holding both buttons for approximately 3 to 5 seconds. It locks in the same manner. To turn it off you press and hold either of the buttons down for 3 seconds. You can turn it on by hitting either of the buttons. The motor of the toy seems to be in the head area and it does allow for pinpoint stimulation with the top of the head.

The Matryoshka has 5 levels of vibrations that are rumbly to me. The lowest setting may be a little buzzy but not much. There area also 5 setting for patterns that can be combined in any manner with the vibration settings. So you can have a pulsation pattern in low, all the way up to high settings. There is no memory to the settings. Once you turn the toy off you have to start over at the lowest setting.

The Matryoshka has the neatest charging system. The base is 2 ½ inches across and the toy sits on the charging base. The base is ¾ inches thick with a gold placard attached to the front of it that says Rianne S on it. It has a small light below the Rs Logo that flashes when it is charging. The base has a lid to it that is 3 ¾ inches tall. The lid fits on it firmly and it will not get knocked off. The charging cable attaches to the back of the base. The cable is approximately 54 inches long. The wall outlet comes with 3 adapters for international outlets. The lid can be kept in place when charging the toy.

The initial charge takes 8 hours and then the Matryoshka can be recharged in 3 hours. It states in the product manual that the charge should last for 2 hours and it has 90 days worth of standby time. Of course do not use the toy when it is charging.

The Matryoshka is very easy to care for. You can throw it in your sink full of soap and water since it is waterproof. You can use your antibacterial soaps and water, toy sprays, toy wipes. You can spray it down with a 10% bleach solution. Do not boil or place in dishwasher as it will ruin the motor. Use only water based lubes as silicone lube can ruin the finish on the toy.

The packaging comes with a storage bag and the charging base with lid that you can use for storage. I usually end up leaving this one out on my night stand. It is very discreet and doesn’t look like a sex toy at all. It is great for travel. I wouldn’t leave this one out if you have small children because I can see a toddler walking around with this one in their mouth. I store all of my silicone toys away from each other so that they don’t meld and hurt each other’s finishes also.

The packaging is very luxurious. It is like receiving a very expensive gift. The outer box contains a picture of the toy and product information. The inner box is soft, kind of chalky feeling purple in color with a lid that flips to the side held on by ribbons. The toy is nestled into a velvet cut out. The charger with lid is in a velvety lined area also. The charger and accessories are under the toy.

You receive the charger, cable, 3 outlet adaptors. A book about Rainne S., a product information pamphlet, a plastic coated purple envelope you have warranty information that lasts for one year. You receive a suede type of toy pouch and the toy. It has a very elegant type of presentation.

I really do love this one. It is not as strong as my Salsa. It performs like Mimi or Uma. If I didn’t know any better I would say that they may come from the same manufacture as the materials and even the colors are so similar. It is stronger than My Mia 1st generation. I love the way that it glides and the husband really likes this one also. It is not the most comfortable one to use with intercourse for the missionary position but it works well with cow girl and doggy style.

It works great for holding on to with solo sessions and using dildo’s. It can make your hand start to go tingly after prolonged use. I would say that it has a 4 vroom type of vibration and it has no noises. It cannot be heard over the covers.

I can achieve some gasping orgasms with this toy. I would easily purchase it again, and I would suggest this one for all users from beginners to experienced toy users.

The Love Candy By Kendra is actually a rabbit style toy. I always said that I didn’t like rabbits but I am starting to be a big convert. The Love Candy has the shaft which is a great g-spotter and the wonderfully powerful clitoral vibe for excitement purposes. It could be used anally as it is made from sterilizable silicone but I only used it for vaginal purposes.

The silicone is one heck of a lint magnet. It is a rubbery type of silicone with quiet a bit of drag to it. The drag is easily cured with some water based lube. The silicone is medical grade, hypoallergenic, non porous. It is latex and phthalates free. It has no smell or taste to it. Silicone is one of the safest materials for sex toys to be made of as it is sterilizable and non porous. The Love Candy comes in black and purple. It is water proof and can be used in the shower.

There are no textures to the Love Candy but it does have the two grooves on the tip of the bulbous end and a raised line that flows along the side of the vibe. I really can not tell that they are present with use. There is a slight seam along the center of the toy which to does not affect the use or feelings of the toy.

The shaft and the clitoral attachment are quiet flexible with being able to be fully bent in any direction. The Love candy has a total length of 8 inches, with 4 ½ inches of it being insertable. The shaft has a greatest diameter of 1 ¼ inches and it’s smallest girth where it tapers at the clitoral attachment has a diameter of 1 inch. The clitoral attachment sits ½ inch from the shaft at the end of the attachments.

The clitoral arm is 2 inches long from the shaft. It too has a bulbous head. It is rounded and it will sit on top of or to the sides of the clitoris. On the very end it is slightly flattened. The clitoral arm has a greatest diameter of 1 inch.

The controls take up 2 1/2 inches of the end. They are place at an angle. The control panel has 2 buttons. They glow a bright LED blue with use. The blue light flashes when charging and they are on solid when you have the vibe on. The bottom button only turns the Love Candy on and off. The top button with the waves on it controls the vibration levels and the pulsations patterns.

There are 3 levels of vibrations. Low, Medium and High. It is not as strong as the Ina2 Or the Mona 2. The pulsation patterns include: an escalation of low to high, an on and off pulsation, a faster on and off pulsation, a three pulse one long pulse. So three vibration levels, and 4 patterns. On it’s lowest setting I would say it is a 1 with the highest setting a 3 for vibrations. It is very quiet and cannot be heard over the covers even at it’s highest settings.

The clitoral arm has the exact same settings as the shaft, there is no way of changing the clitoral arm functions they operate as One. There is no memory to the settings, when you turn it off you start over at the lowest vibration setting.

The charger is magnetized to the control panel. The charger head is 2 ½ inches long and attaches to a cord that is 45 inches long. It attaches to a USB port as well as the included wall outlet charger. The wall outlet charger has to attach to an end piece for the 110 wall outlet and getting the pieces together is a real pain in the ass. I am assuming that this one made be made for international use and may have attachments that don’t come with each toy.

The instructions state to charge the toy for a full 8 hours using the wall adapter. After the initial charge it will then take 3 hours for the toy to fully recharge. The toy will run for 3 hours on half speed and 1 ½ hour on full speed. When the battery is low, the speeds will become weaker and then just stop.

Of course, you cannot use the toy while it is charging. The toy itself is waterproofed but not the chargers. The product information does state that the toy is water proof.

Cleaning is easy with antibacterial soaps and water, toy sprays or toy wipes. You can even spritz it down with a 10% bleach solution. You cannot boil or place this one in the dishwasher due to the motor.

Use only water based lubes so that the finish doesn’t get ruined and be careful with storage so that your love candy is not touching other toys so that too doesn’t ruin the finish on the toy. I store it in the cool case that it comes in.

The packaging is great. It is a rounded end black case that snaps shut. The toy is on one level of a plastic insert with all the charging materials on a plastic level under the toy. All of the product information is contained on a cardboard sleeve that fits over the case. I am finding that I like the cool packaging and this packaging is also great for gifts and is totally usable.

The Love Candy does come with a one year warranty.

The Love candy is not as strong as the Ina2 or the Mona 2. It has some great qualities especially that the shaft and clitoral attachments are so flexible. I am able to bend it with use to get it to hit all the right spots. Yes, I am able to fully get off with this one. I like the charging options. I do not like that the clit arm and the shaft have the same motor and run at the same speeds. I have really gotten spoiled by the higher end vibes. I really hate how much lint and hair it collects though, it cannot even make it out of the bathroom without having hair on it.

The love candy is a really good vibe, not the best but it does perform. I would rate it a 3 out of 5. It will get used but not as much as say the Ina2 or my Jopen’s. I would also say that this one is not worth the cost of it. I feel that experienced toy users may be disappointed in this one.

This one is quite impressive. It is not that big and there are no textures. It’s buttery soft silicone feels so good running up and down your body and toying with your erogenous zones. It can be used for anal use but I have only used it for vaginal penetration. It has no bells and whistles and no attachments. It feels really good on the clitoris and the external areas. My husband enjoys it on his scrotum. The Mona 2 is really good for seeking out those G- spots and helping to achieve orgasms.

The silicone is buttery, velvety soft and it glides, there really isn’t any drag to it but you can use some water based lube if you want to. The Silicone lube can ruin the finish on the silicone toys. The silicone is hypoallergenic, latex and phthalates free. It is non porous and cleans up easily with anti bacterial soaps and water, or toy sprays. You cannot boil the Mona 2 or place it in the dishwasher as it will damage the motor. Since the silicone is non porous you can use the Mona both anally and vaginally but be sure to properly sanitize it in between areas. It comes in purple, pink and red. It does have the seam where the plastic control area meets the silicone that can become an issue with cleaning. The silicone really doesn't collect any lint or hairs.

The Mona 2 has a total length of 7 3/4 inches and has a largest diameter of 1 1/4 inches and it tapers to a diameter of 1 inch. Insertable length is 4 1/2 inches. The control area is 3 inches. There are no attachments. The end of the control area contains the charging port with it’s cover. The cover on the charging port is easily knocked off with use.

The motor is very powerful, I can compare this one to my beloved Uma. I still love Uma the best but, this one is very close. It has a powerful motor and I have no issues with the button use. But I really dislike the charging port cover on the end. I am continually knocking it out of place.

The Mona 2 charges for approximately 2 hours for a charge lasting 4 hours of use and has a stand by time that has lasted me weeks. The charging area is located at the end of the toy. There are 4 buttons, a + button a - button and an up and down arrow button. To lock and unlock the toy you hit the + and - button at the same time for 3 seconds. To turn the vibe on you hit the plus button. To keep increasing the vibrations you just hold the + button.

There are not true vibrations levels it just goes up in vibrations. At it’s weakest it has a 1 vroom and it goes to a 4 vroom in no time. There are then 8 patterns. Slower pulsations, faster pulsations, escalating pulsations, a low and high pulsation and then several different chaotic patterns. This one is so quiet, you can barely tell that it is on. At it’s highest levels you can hear a slight hum but no noise issues.

The motor has the vibrations more towards the insertion end of the Mona 2. The vibrations do carry through the whole shaft. When playing with this one in your hand, your hand can get tingly.

The Lelo packaging and presentation is great. It feels as if you are receiving a wonderful gift. There is an outer sleeve with product information on it. The inner black box contains the Mona 2 nestled into it’s foam cut out and a separate area that contains the warranty card, product pamphlet, the charger and a storage bag. I do use the fabric bag for storage of my Mona 2.

As a size comparison with the Ina 2.

I am very impressed with the power that the new Lelo "2"'s have they are a definite increase from the originals and they toys are real pleasers. I still favor my Uma from Je Jou but this one is a close second. It has rumbly vibrations that carry well though out the entire toy. I am able to achieve some joyful moments and it puts a smile on my face.
